Chris Rock's first stand-up special in a decade drops on Netflix tomorrow

14 February 2018

Chris Rock: Tambourine will be available on Wednesday, February 14. For those not in the know, that's Valentine's Day.

Even though he's stepped away from the hour-long motif, Rock has kept himself busy since his last special, 2008's Kill the Messenger. The comedy giant signed an impressive $40 million deal with the streaming giant for two stand-up specials back in 2016. All of his myriad talents came together in 2014's widely acclaimed Top Five, which Rock wrote, starred in, and directed.

Earlier this month, Netflix released a rather cryptic teaser video entitled Tamborine, which simply displayed the handheld percussive instrument in a darkly-lit room.

Emmy and Grammy award-winning comedian Chris Rock, who redefined stand-up comedy with his hilarious and brilliant takes on relationships, race and society, comes to Netflix with Chris Rock: Tamborine.

A few weeks ago, Netflix teased us all when they released a very cryptic trailer that only featured a few tambourine. Alas, Rock's new special - which is called Chris Rock:Tamborine - will mark Rock's first special in more than 10 years.
